I analyze my system's power consumption obsessively with powertop. If bug #917210 had shown up at the time I filed this bug with wake-ups directly attributable to compiz or unity, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed this. Also, as noted in comment #5, i915_enable_rc6 seems to have had a noticable impact on the power consumption when running unity.
Next time I restart my laptop, I can check out the power consumption of the 3d session and see how it compares with the version in your ppa. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887260 Title: compiz+unity3d draws 3W more power than metacity+unity2d when idle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/887260/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
